Baitrunner Spinning Reel

Who could tell the difference of Rear Drag Spinning Reel and Front Drag Spinning Reel?Thanks!?

I wanna know the very difference of Rear Drag and Front Drag,as well Surf Reel,Baitrunner Reel and so on.Thanks!

Like the other answer says, front drag reels have the drag adjustment on the “top” of the spool. Rear drag reels have adjustment on the back, behind the body frame.

Reels that are specifically designed for surf fishing are generally “sealed” bodied to prevent salt corrosion; spools are generally tapered down allowing for smoother, longer casting; drags are designed to be sealed to prevent sand from entering the stack causing erratic behavior.

Baitrunner reels are reels that have incorporated the ability to disengage the main drag on the spool, typically through a switch on the rear of the reel body. When switched “on” the reel’s main drag stack on the top of the spool is disengaged, allowing the spool to rotate/feed line out. The purpose of this feature is to allow a fish to take the offering/bait and run with it, allowing further inhalation.

In order to feed line out with SOME tension (so the fish doesn’t just rip all your line and birds nest you in the process!), there is a secondary adjustable drag system. This is typically adjusted by a dial on the rear of the reel body. This provides minimal drag pressure, usually under 2.5lbs maximum.

(EXAMPLE. – when I use bait fishing for striper, sometimes I’ll use a baitrunner reel to allow the striper to take the bait, run for a little bit – that way I know it’s got the bait securely in the mouth, and THEN I’ll set the hook – increasing my chances of the striper getting hooked since it had more time to take the bait because the reel was able to feed out line with little resistance)
